What is an EPIRB? An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is used to alert the Search And Rescue services in the event of an emergency. It transmits a coded message on the 406MHz distress frequency, which is detected by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites. Emergency alerts are relayed to the closest Local User Terminal, which then forwards the information to the Mission Control Centre where the message is decoded. The distress details and vessel details (taken from the registration details) are then passed to the appropriate Rescue Coordination Centre who co-ordinate the relevant Search And Rescue authorities. What’s the difference between an EPIRB and a PLB? Once the Search And Rescue service are in the area, they need to pinpoint your position directly. McMurdo’s Smartfind E5 and G5 EPIRBs contain a 121.5MHz location transmitter for this purpose. That’s fine if you’re with the EPIRB, but if you’re in the water or have become separated from the vessel, you’ll still want the rescue services to find you quickly and easily. A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) transmits on the same 121.5MHz frequency, but is designed to be carried on your person - many quality foul weather jackets have a pocket on the sleeve for this purpose. And what’s a SART? Generally deployed in the liferaft on a long pole, a Search And Rescue Transponder (SART) performs a similar function to a PLB, the difference being that a SART sends out a 9GHz signal which is detected by a ship’s radar, appearing as a dotted line pointing to your position.

McMurdo/Echomax AIS SARTs, Radar Target Enhancer McMURDO SMARTFIND S5 AIS SART A manual deployment survivor location device for use on life rafts or survival craft, it meets IMO SOLAS requirements and is an alternative to a Radar SART. Compact, easy to operate and deploy, the Smartfind S5 is supplied in a quick release carry off bag for quick evacuation. When activated it triggers an alarm on all AIS enabled vessels within range, transmitting your vessel’s MMSI number along with your current position, which will be displayed as a marker on AISintegrated chartplotters. Once activated the Smartfind S5 AIS SART transmits continually for a minimum of 96hrs. An inbuilt GPS provides high speed position information to assist in the quick recovery of survivors. The highly visible, buoyant carry case can be wall mounted the bridge or packed inside a survival craft. HOT PRODUCT KEY FEATURES • Ship or Survival craft options • Buoyant/floats, waterproof to 10m • Rugged, compact and lightweight • Non-hazardous battery for safe, easy transportation • 6 year battery life • Visual indication of operation • Built-in test facility • Integral lanyard • Internal/external mounting options ECHOMAX ACTIVE-X X Band Radar Target Enhancer Active Radar Target Enhancer which dramatically improves your safety at sea by increasing the chances of being seen by on radar by commercial shipping. The unit receives a signal from a transmitting radar, amplifies it and returns a stronger signal. The operating range is typically up to 30nm, this will vary depending on the height that it is installed, the heel angle of the boat and also the position and power of the scanning vessel’s radar system, but independent performance tests by QinetiQ showed a dramatic increase in the visible radar signal when using the Active-X system, and a test by Practical Boat Owner magazine showed that it significantly outperformed competitive Active RTE systems.

One of the biggest dangers facing small boats is the risk of being run down by larger commerical vessels, particularly in busy shipping lanes. These large vessels generally rely on radar to inform them of any potential collision hazards, particularly at night or in bad weather where visibility is poor. Most small boats are built from GRP, composite materials or wood which are poor radar signal reflectors. This, coupled with the fact that most small boats sit relatively close to the water means that it is very difficult for them to be picked up on a ships radar. Even a yacht at full sail doesn’t necessarily present a strong radar target, especially when it is heeled over, which reduces the visible cross-section. A common solution is the use of passive radar reflectors which are designed to reflect the incoming radar signals more efficiently through the use of angular metallic plates, but these only have limited effectiveness, especially if the incoming radar pulse is weak to begin with. Active Radar Target Enhancers improve on this by electronically amplifying and re-transmitting the incoming radar pulses, so your small sailing yacht will look like a much larger vessel to any ship within radar scanning range. In independent tests, the radar echo returned by an unheeled boat fitted with the Echomax Active-X RTE was in excess of 110 sq m, certainly big enough for the skipper of any tanker to sit up and take notice!
